Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Para bailar La Bamba
Para bailar La Bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Pa' mí, pa' ti
Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba, por ti seré
Por ti seré, por ti seré
[Verse 2]
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitán
Soy capitán, soy capitán
[Verse 3]
Bamba, Bamba
[Verse 4]
Para bailar La Bamba
Para bailar La Bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Pa' mí, pa' ti
Y arriba y arriba
[Verse 5]
¡Ay Bamba, trae sabor!
[Verse 6]
Para bailar La Bamba
Para bailar La Bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Pa' mí, pa' ti
Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba, por ti seré
Por ti seré, por ti seré
[Verse 7]
Bamba, Bamba
Written by: Ritchie Valens, [traditional]
